After learning how to enable advanced stock management in our last article, our next article in the Advanced Stock Management course will go over adding a new warehouse. The warehouse tab allows you to track which warehouse a product and its various combinations are stored. Below are the instructions for adding a new warehouse in PrestaShop 1.5
